A Muggle

I've finished Ozark. Definitely worth my while. I've always liked Jason Bateman, but he certainly has outdone himself.
Laura Linney and Julia Garner were also fantastic.
An outstanding thriller that kept me wondering what the main character would do next all the freaking time.
The season finale was superb.
The characters are very intense and interesting. This show is a nail-biter.
One of the best I've watched lately.

In the name of the Pizza Lord. Charge!

Finished Orville. They did really well for 12 episodes. Lots of character development and establishing the world.
I hope in season 2 that they will start with some overarching plot, since season 1 was episodic. The Krill could be a major threat as the main baddies in the show, but we'll see.

The series kind of takes aspects of the books and then re-orders them to enable a decent tv adaptation. For example Avasarala doesn't appear in the books until the second one, but in the tv show she's there from the start.

I can already tell after S2E1 that there is a bigger budget!

Stranger Things 2 was awesome. The dance scene at the end was a perfect ending

Watched the first 2 seasons which covers the first book and about half of the second book. First 4 episodes are a bit disorienting (if I wouldn't have read the books I wouldn't understand anything) but it takes off afterwards and becomes quite good.

I enjoyed both seasons, and yea I agree Amos is a bit more extreme in the show..

Honestly I don't understand why they only used 2/3 of the material for season 1, then ended season 2 in the middle of the Caliban's War story. The individual books are set up with a very clear beginning and end. All of them dealing with it's own plot that gets resolved.

Now the seasons end with huge cliffhangers, when by just following the books each season would have been a separate story. Always ending in a satisfying way.

Like the books every season would still follow the core crew, but always adding something new and fresh with the secondary characters.

I feel the way they went about is unnecessarily hard to follow, with them mixing it all together into one massive jumbled story.

I'm currently watching an absolutely brilliant series on the BBC called McMafia. Only 2 episodes in so far, but highly recommend it if you can watch it where you are. It concerns Russian crime syndicates across the globe, but is largely based in the UK/Israel (so far).

Speaking of Mafia shows, I recently watched a really good one - Peaky Blinders. Really reminded me of The Godfather (a decorated war hero returns home from the world war in order to lead his family crime gang, only instead of New York 1946 it's Birmingham 1919) but it has its own UK flavor (unions, IRA, etc). The casting is literally mouth-watering, with Cillian Murphy and Sam Neill, and as a bonus Tom Hardy joins on season 2 and Adrian Brody on season 4.

If you're into crime/mafia shows, it's one of the best I saw in a long while.

This is 'the' thing to be watching over here in the UK at the moment.. everyone is talking about it. I still haven't jumped on the bandwagon, but it's next on my list after I finish season 2 of Expanse.

I live near to Newark, Nottinghamshire, which was quite an important town in the English Civil War of 1642-1651. Now that does interest me. There are civil war trails through the town, there's a civil war museum, plus the remains of the castle, and still a hole in the church spire from a stray cannon ball! More interesting than Robin Hood for sure, who's existence is dubious!
